First of all....a MAN'S arm length is 2/5 the size of his height.
We're talking about a child here.
and even a single inch makes a HUGE difference in the range of motion. You are ignorant not to know this. Shorter people can always lift more weight than taller people due to biomechanics.

First of all...I am an ivy league student premed SENIOR, and I am 20 years old, so don't insult me. You are a piss ant asian.
We'll take the dumbbell curl. We can use the principle of torque to illustrate how the force exhibited on the body becomes greater as one has longer features when considering the same weight.
Although the relationship between load in the hand is not exponential to the length of the arm, it is dramatic, espcially since the body has to support the weight of the forearm and empty hand (which is also going to be greater for a person with longer features).
To calculate the force exerted by the biceps muscle holding a weight, for example, with the forearm parallel to the floor...
the force equals the WEIGHT times the length of the forearm + the WEIGHT x the distance from the end of the arm to the center of gravity. THis quanitity is divided by the length of the point of attachment of the tendon from the end of the bone x the angle the bicep makes the with bone.
You can clearly see how the length of features is something to be considered.

You, my friend, are a piss ant asian.
I gave you an equation to substantiate my argument. You have brought NOTHING to the table - except some kid with short arms.
There is no man who can exhibit the strength bruce lee can. Find a single person. Find it. I don't see it anywhere.
You tried to rely on the assumption that I am some meathead who doesn't understand biomechanics and how it is possible to bench 215 when you are a 4'9" kid with short arms.
Wow, you are stupid. I believe I have won this argument.

I guess if English isn't your first language, you wouldn't have understood the implications.
So what do you want me to read you before you go to sleep "snow white and the 7 dwarves", or "cinderella" I know you love fairy tales.
I did win the argument. You have no evidence. ENough said.

Bruce Lee vs Jay Cutler...
note- this is NOT a racially motivated thread. So don't go there.
Bruce lee all the way. Look at Jay, his traps are beyond huge, as of Bruce Lee's who can manuever faster behind jay and knock him down faster. The reach of his arms (Jay) is limited whereas Bruce Lee's manueverability is limited also, but not as restricted.
Jay Cutler can BEAT Bruce Lee only on sheer strength and (if) he has the mentality. Mentality is very important in combat (duh)
Bruce Lee can only beat Jay on his quickness...think of Kareem Abdul Jabbar vs Bruce Lee in the Game of Death. (tall vs. short)
This raises the Greek Mythology of Ulysses and the Cyclops....Giant Vs Small man.

Seinfeld, for 120lbs you have some muscle, but I don't see how many people would be intimidated by you. How do you know that someone is intimidated? I think that's just your ego acting up.08/11/05

Bruce Lee was in plenty of competitions and tournaments before he became a star....that's how he got his reputation started and that's how he got "discovered" by Hollywood. As far as the UFC, since when do you have to be big to be successful at that. Remember Gracie? IMO Bruce Lee would fu*k them up....way too quick. He wouldn't have to get close. He could end a fight with one kick. Of course, if they did get ahold of him, different story. But, this is an argument that can't be won.
